There Is No Reason At All To Use MySQL: MariaDB, MySQL Founder Michael Widenius

Posted by Unknown on from the reunion-episode dept.

sfcrazy writes "In this exclusive interview MySQL founder Michael Widenius talks about the reasons of decline of MySQL, what Oracle is doing wrong and how MariaDB is fast replacing it. There are quite some interesting information in this interview. The take out of this interview is '...there is no reason at all to use MySQL 5.5 instead of MariaDB 5.5. The same will be true for the next generation.'" Of course, he has an economic interest in getting people to use MariaDB. Hard to argue that Oracle isn't evil though.

    The command sucks. I uses a led and a switch connected to my fiber to send commands.
